Capitol Crawl

Common card · No. 401935

The Capitol Crawl was a disability rights protest on March 12, 1990, in support of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). It was organized by ADAPT, a grassroots disability rights organization. Following a march from the White House to the U.S. Capitol Building, several activists left their mobility aids at the base of the Capitol and crawled or dragged themselves up the steps of the building. The event attracted significant media attention and is often considered a landmark moment in disability rights history.
